Esmé: I am NOT funny. [Pause. Blows a raspberry.] Dad, you farted! [Pause.] Was that funny?

Dad: No!

Esmé: See, I told you I wasn’t funny!

Here are a few Esmé quotes I’ve put on facebook, but not on the blog yet:

"If God made cookies, they would be shaped like us."

"Feeling blue: When you're all bruised on the inside."

Observation on the states of water: "When a snowman gets hot, it becomes a steam-man."

Last but not least, Esmé has decided to write and illustrate “stories for other children to read.” Her first story is posted over on her blog. I am thinking we need a little work on character and plot development before she gets published, but everybody starts somewhere… :)
